The Federal Government has begun the demolition of properties affected by the right of way on the Lagos-Calabar coastal road construction.

The Minister of works, David Umahi, made this known in a statement released by Mr Orji Uchenna, his Special Adviser on Media, on Sunday in Abuja.

Umahi said that the project would mark a major milestone in the Renewed Hope roadmap of President Bola Tinubu towards economic diversification.

He said: “The Federal Government is passionate about the plight of the people and will, in the exercise of the right of way, put a human face on the demolition of properties required to give way for the construction of the coastal highway.

Umahi said: “The Federal Government is considering the most economically-viable way to pass the coastal road without much damages.
